Dosage & Application Guide
The manufacturer table quantities match the explicit millilitre rates in the current government formulation reference. The acre equivalents below are calculated, not additional label directions.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Product rate | Water volume | Method | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paddy | 1000–1500 ml/ha (≈405–607 ml/acre) | 750–1000 L/ha* | Confirm label | 30* |
| Tomato | 1000–1250 ml/ha (≈405–506 ml/acre) | 500–600 L/ha* | Confirm label | 3* |
The manufacturer numbers are retained. Millilitre units, hectare water basis and waiting periods are cross-checked against the government Kasugamycin 3% SL entry, not an exact current Mahamycin pack.
*Government formulation reference dated 30 September 2026, not a substitute for the current Mahamycin label. PHI is the interval from last application to harvest. Acre equivalents use hectare rate × 0.40468564224 and are rounded.
Do not add crops from other kasugamycin brands or assume that all bacterial diseases are covered. Confirm preparation, route, timing and repeat limits on the current pack.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Match the target: Check the full Mahamycin identity, crop and target against the supplied label.
- Measure correctly: Use the label’s explicit product unit and water volume; do not substitute a hectare quantity for an acre quantity.
- Follow the approved method: Use only the preparation, equipment and application route specified on the pack. Do not assume a tank mixture is permitted.
- Protect people and water: Wear the specified protective equipment and prevent drift or runoff into water and neighbouring crops.
